The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) advises motorists and recreationalists of a pavement rehabilitation project beginning in Morgan County on SR-65 from the Salt Lake County line (milepost 8) to the Summit County line (milepost 22) and SR-66 from the Porterville area (milepost 9) to East Canyon Reservoir (milepost 0). The project includes the removal of the top layer and placement of a new layer of asphalt paving. New guardrail will be installed in selected areas along the project corridors. Work scheduled during the daytime hours will be Monday through Friday, and weekend work will be scheduled as needed. All work is weather-dependent.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
• During construction, pilot cars will be used to direct one-way traffic through work zones. Motorists should expect delays. • Business and residential accesses will be maintained. Very brief closures are possible when equipment is passing by residential and business driveways. • Noise and lighting impacts are possible during work hours. • Cyclists are advised to avoid the area as much as possible during construction as asphalt removal will result in rougher riding conditions. When this is not possible, cyclists should drive with traffic and not attempt to pass other vehicles. Cyclists are required to stop at the flaggers with other traveling public.
TENTATIVE WORK SCHEDULE FOR SUMMER 2020:
Please note that due to weather conditions, emergency situations or equipment/supply issues, schedules are subject to change.

Chip seal operations are estimated to take approximately two weeks. Flagging operations and pilot cars will help direct drivers and cyclists through work zones.
